No MOre Trash! Mascot Peanut is the red-eared slider found in 1993 with a plastic six-pack ring stuck around her body. This caused her shell to grow into the unusual figure-eight shape for which she was named.

The annual Trash Bash is an annual event sponsored by the Missouri Departments of Conservation (MDC) and Transportation (MoDOT) as part of their ongoing No MOre Trash! campaign. During the entire month of April, efforts are aimed at getting people to clean up litter all across Missouri from roadsides, parks, neighborhoods, rivers, streams and other places.
